Everything is under Xiao Lie’s control!

Back at home, Ping Chengcheng went to check the food inventory in the house. In a storage room on the first floor, all the food looked fine, with no signs of being touched.

Could it be that Lao Ba really took on some work outside?

Raising an eyebrow, the girl was a little puzzled. Besides her, she really couldn’t think of any work that would give rice. Of course, the reason why the girl traded rice to others was only because there was too much of this stuff at home to eat.

Arriving at the staircase on the second floor, Ping Chengcheng was speechless to see Wu Sheng sitting on the stairs, dozing off.

This guy was still guarding here. Wasn’t this too dedicated?

“Go to sleep,” the girl said.

Wu Sheng perked up slightly and nodded repeatedly. He struggled to sit up from the ground with a groan, swaying towards the bedroom.

He squinted his eyes, yawning, and confusedly entered the wrong bedroom, running into Lao Ba’s bedroom. He was about to jump onto the bed with a lunge, but with a “thump,” he fell to the ground on the side of the bed closest to the wall.

“zzZZ”

He fell asleep, smacked his lips, rolled over, and crawled under the bed again.

This sleep was dark and earth-shattering, but there was no snoring. Rather, people who still snored in the apocalypse had long been naturally eliminated.

When Wu Sheng woke up, he stared blankly at the narrow and dark space around him.

Where the hell did he come to?

Before he could continue to make any movements, footsteps sounded outside the room.

Lao Ba hurriedly opened the door, ran in quickly, then locked the bedroom door, and took out the communicator.

Wu Sheng under the bed was a little strange. What was going on? He had been hanging out with Lao Ba every day some time ago, but because he was too short on money, he dropped out of Lao Ba’s extravagant team. He had inquired about how Lao Ba earned so much rice, but this selfish guy Lao Ba didn’t tell him!

“How is the situation on your side now?” A slightly familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Wu Sheng felt that he had heard it somewhere, but he couldn’t remember it for the time being.

Lao Ba flattered with a smile: “Boss, there is nothing wrong for the time being, just like before.”

Boss? Wu Sheng, hiding under the bed, frowned. What was Lao Ba doing? Shouldn’t his boss be Ping Chengcheng?

He was actually randomly recognizing other people as his boss. How unqualified!

The voice in the communicator turned cold: “Heh heh, don’t think I don’t know. I asked you to keep a close eye on her! But you go whoring every day!”

Lao Ba smiled awkwardly.

“Forget it, let me tell you. Just yesterday afternoon, something interesting happened on her way back to the villa.”

“She made some abnormal moves. It seems that the instinctual desires of a Variant were invading her brain.”

“I guess she should be unable to bear it soon. I need you to do a test with fresh blood to see if she is still controllable.”

Lao Ba’s heart sank. He was asked to do a test, facing such a terrible existence? This task was not easy to accept!

Under the bed.

Wu Sheng’s thoughts turned quickly.

She? Variant?

He very naturally associated it with Ping Chengcheng. After all, the first time he heard the concept of a Variant, it was when Zheng Zhiyi said that Ping Chengcheng was a Variant.

But who was Lao Ba on the phone with? Someone sent Lao Ba to watch Ping Chengcheng? Lao Ba…

Lao Ba was acting as a traitor!

Wu Sheng’s eyes were fierce. This guy really didn’t want to live… If he hadn’t inexplicably appeared under Lao Ba’s bed today, he really wouldn’t have known that this would happen!

You must know that Lao Ba was brought out by Ping Chengcheng from the zombie den in A City! It was equivalent to saving Lao Ba’s life!

But this guy Lao Ba actually…

He had to tell Ping Chengcheng!

But now was not the time. He couldn’t be discovered by Lao Ba.

Lao Ba hung up the communicator and sat on the bed with a sigh.

“Is it easy for me… I just want to live a better life…”

“What Emergency Strike Team? Tsk, who wants to dance on the edge of a knife…”

He leaned his body back dejectedly, lay on the bed, thinking about where to get some fresh blood to do the so-called test. After thinking for a long time, he couldn’t think of any way. Finally, he got up and groped in the bedside table, finding a utility knife.

Although it would be a little painful, he had to bear it.

In a while, the success that Xiao Lie had promised him would be fulfilled.

The sharp blade cut across his arm, causing Lao Ba to tremble uncontrollably.

“Hiss~”

A little blood seeped out. Lao Ba wiped his arm clean with a cloth, holding the blood-stained cloth in his hand, opened the bedroom door, and went out.

The time was 7:30 in the evening.

Ping Chengcheng was in the kitchen, making Song Ning a bowl of smoked meat and mashed potatoes with rice. She was holding it, ready to go upstairs back to the bedroom, when she smelled a familiar scent. The girl frowned.

The smell of blood…

Her head throbbed for a moment. She breathed slightly and put the mixed rice back on the kitchen counter.

Where did it come from?

Her pair of scarlet eyes scanned around, finally focusing on the coffee table in the living room, a blood-stained cloth. And Lao Ba was sitting there, wrapping his arm with a bandage. Was he injured?

Ignoring Lao Ba’s situation, Ping Chengcheng’s voice was cold, and her eyes were terrifying as she stared at Lao Ba: “Get out and throw this cloth away!”

The bloodthirsty thoughts uncontrollably emerged in her heart. Fortunately, she had just drunk a can of blood at Shen Mengyuan’s house today. Otherwise, she would have been bombarded by those violent and terrifying thoughts, causing her head to be in chaos again.

But even so, she was not much better now. The scarlet light in her eyes made Lao Ba tremble in fear.

“Gulp.”

Lao Ba smiled with difficulty: “Okay, I, I’ll go now.”

He took the cloth and ran out of the villa entrance without any hesitation.

Outside the villa, the sky was completely dark. Lao Ba looked back from time to time, groping in the dark to get away from the villa.

Until he reached a deserted place where he thought he wouldn’t be heard by anyone.

He took out the communicator: “Boss… Ping Chengcheng, she, seems to be, really, might be out of control soon.”

He couldn’t forget the look in the girl’s eyes just now! It was as if she wanted to eat him and swallow him whole! That was the look of a predator looking at food!

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the communicator.

Xiao Lie was a little hesitant. Although he really wanted to rely on Ping Chengcheng to gain more say in the base, it was dangerous to keep a ticking time bomb who might lose control at any time by his side.

At the same time, if Ping Chengcheng really couldn’t control herself at some point and slaughtered the survivors, he, Xiao Lie, would definitely be suspected of protecting Ping Chengcheng’s identity.

Forget it, he had already gotten a lot of benefits from her.

His eyes narrowed.

Tomorrow was the base’s pre-war meeting. At tomorrow’s meeting, he would arrest her as a Variant! Wouldn’t that be another achievement, and it would be in front of Lu Linyuan.

Presumably, Lu Linyuan would definitely look at him with admiration.

Xiao Lie revealed a cruel smile. Sure enough, everything was in his control.
